Trump says he might invite boxer Tyson Fury -- who has a history of homophobic, racist, and anti

-Semitic comments — to the White House following his recent win

One of the world's best boxers might get an invite to the White House after his heavyweight championship win over the weekend, but the celebrated fighter has a history of making homophobic, racist, and anti-Semitic comments that date back years.

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he was considering inviting British boxer Tyson Fury to the White House alongside the opponent he beat on Saturday, Deontay Wilder.

"It was really very exciting," Trump told reporters. "Maybe we have to bring them both to the White House — I don't know — because that was really a good one. I think we'll do that."

Fury, 31, won the World Boxing Council (WBC) Heavyweight title at MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday night in less than 20 minutes in front of a shocked audience.

Fury supposedly said this while working out last year in Las Vegas: “Isn’t it a great thing that a total outsider from this country is showing so much love, passion and respect for the Mexican people,” he said

“At the minute they are being oppressed by the people here – building a wall, chucking ‘em all out and treating them terrible.”
